GNUstep is just a set of libraries and a programming environment people can use to develop apps. It's not a desktop environment in itself. Several apps essential for desktop use (a file manager, a simple word processor, …) are developed as part of GNUstep project.
However, if you use it, you'll still be missing a session manager/initiator (in Gnome, 'gnome-session') and a window manager. For use with GNUstep, you could use WindowMaker. Etoile is a separate but friendly project which uses GNUstep libraries and programming environment to provide session management, window management and several cool apps. It is intended to be used as a GNUstep-based desktop.
